"Question Me An Answer" lyrics - BURT BACHARACH

Question me an answer bright and clear
I will answer with a question clear and bright
Even though your answer may be wrong
My question will be right

Question me an answer
Answer with a question

[Chorus) Fourteen hundred ninety two. (1492]

(Bobby) What's the year that Babe Ruth hit his sixtieth home run?

(Chorus)
Wellington at Waterloo

(Bobby) Who became the hero at the battle of Bull Run?
Learning can be lots of fun

Question me an answer bright and clear
I will answer with a question clear and bright
Even though your answer may be wrong
My question will be right

Question me an answer
Answer with a question

(Chorus)
Midnight ride of Paul Revere

(Bobby) What's the way that Yankee Doodle really went to town?

(Chorus)
Cleaning up the atmosphere

(Bobby) What's the reason London Bridge is always falling down

(All) You can learn things from a clown

Question me an answer bright and clear
I will answer with a question clear and bright
Even though your answer may be wrong
My question will be right

Question me an answer
Answer with a question

(Bobby) On the good ship Lollopop

(Chorus)
How did Christopher Columbus sail upon the sea?

(Bobby) Underneath the circus top

(Chorus)
Where did Cleopatra get to meet Mark Anthony?

(All) They say knowledge makes you free

(Orchestra Interlude and Dance)

They say knowledge makes you free

Question me an answer if you please
I will answer with a question if I can

(Bobby) Let me show you just how I
Became an educated man

Question me an answer
Answer with a question

(Orchestra and Dance)
If you wanna' know, if you wanna' hear, if you wanna' see
Question me an answer
